End stops 11, 12 are provided by cutting slits 13, 14 symmetrically on either side of the vertex 16 and folding in the portions 11, 12 between the slits 13, 14 and the ends of the container, substantially as shown. In like manner a strap 16 is provided in the containerby slitting said container at 17, 18 and folding in the portion between said slits. For the purpose of or removing the article, shown as a tubular incandescent lamp 19, one of the end stops 11, 12 is moved to an inoperative position and the article 19 is then slipped in through the strap 16 against thejopposite stop. 8aidarticle19 is then held firmly between the strap 16 and'the sides of the container and is held against displacement along the container by the end stops 11, 12.
